Alina’s POVAfter I finished at the office that evening, I decided to go to the garden to join the workers there. It was something I loved doing years ago and I decided to try it again since it was something I liked. While I was at the back of the house, trimming the flowers. I perceived a strong familiar scent and the moment I turned around. I saw him standing behind me. He was alone, he came with some of his men, although they stood a distance from him. “What are you doing here Zach?” I asked like I wasn’t happy that he came around. I was happy but I was just making sure that he doesn’t see me as some weakling again. It was something that ruined my life earlier with him and I was scared of it happening again. He didn’t say anything. But the moment he took a step forward, my heart skipped. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I muttered, taking a step backward. “Why did you come here?”“I want to be with the woman. I love,” he muttered, his voice low and calm. “I have missed you sle
Alpha Zach’s POVAfter the chaos of dealing with the rogue, I was all alone in my private chamber, thinking what’s next to do. The rogue refused to say a word until he gave up.That was the only chance I had to know who was attacking my pack. Yes, I ruined it. Everything was happening too fast, the attack and the crisis from Alina’s pack. Earlier in the day I had gotten information that Roy was doing extraordinary things in training. I wanted to see, I wanted him to be with me when he does those things. I just didn’t know how to bring him along. Maybe I could arrange for a vacation with them, but my fear was Alina.I just wanted a break from everything that was happening, and that included staying away from Bella. Since I accused her of working with Alpha Kayden, she had been acting weird and her behavior had gotten irritating. I stood up from my private chamber and then walked straight to Alina’s room. The room she occupied when she was mated to me. When I got in, I shut the door
Alina’s POV“My son, he is doing just fine with me and I don’t think he would want to come with you,” I muttered. What was I even saying? How was I going to tell Zach that he’s only son had gone with one of his biggest rival pack leaders? I shook my head and then moved away from him. “If this is some kind of a joke, I don’t want it to repeat itself.”He didn’t say a word. He just nodded and then started to go to the train again. His steps were fast and it seemed like he had a reason for walking in that direction. When we finally got to the train ground, Kayden paused and watched from a distance. I was still beside him, but didn’t say anything.Roy and the others didn’t even notice our presence. They are so concentrated on what they are doing. Carl and the other soldiers were also watching carefully. “All right,” I said as Roy stepped forward. “Let’s see if you can hit the wooden target gently this time.”No way, I had to stop them because I didn’t want Kayden to see something else.
Alina’s POVThe morning breeze was crisp as I stepped outside, the dew still clinging to the grass beneath my boots. Birds chirped somewhere near the woods, and for a moment, everything felt peaceful. But peace was a stranger in our pack these days. But there was something that was bothering me, and that was the fact that Zach had not visited me since he left that day after arguing with Kayden. I wanted him to feel jealous and regret why he left me in the first place. But, it now seems that. All I did, did not affect him. I hadn’t tried to call him either because I felt I pushed him away even when he tried to come around.The craziest part of it all was that I needed him now, and I wanted him to be around Roy. Most especially now that Roy was beginning to change. My father has said that the strength inside my son would develop each day. I never knew it could be sooner. At first, I thought he was just growing fast, stronger, maybe a little moodier. Normal things for a young wolf. B
Alpha Zach’s POV While we were still in the meeting, one of the soldiers walked inside the room, panting heavily. His face was covered with scratches and his eyes were filled with urgency. “What is it?” My beta Jason asked. “There is a meeting going on, and we made it clear that we didn’t want to be interrupted. He almost chased the soldier back but then I noticed that it could be urgent and the flood on his face needed some explanation. “Wait!” I muttered. “He is injured Jason, we have to make sure that he is attended to… and probably check the cause for his injury.” Jason immediately stepped back as I took a step closer to the soldier. “Tell me, what happened to your face? It seems like you were attacked.”“Forgive me Alpha,” he apologized first and then began. “We were attacked at the border, and I had to escape to come inform you.” “What?” I exclaimed. “Why are you just telling me this?” I was bitter but then I needed to go see for myself and possibly provide a solution. I
Alpha Zach’s POV Something wasn’t right with Bella. I couldn’t explain it, but lately, every time she walks into a room, the whole place changes into sadness. Her laugh was too forced. Her face was never sad each time she was with me but now, I felt maybe she was angry, although I didn’t care about her. I was concerned because she was a member of my pack and I was only given the role of a leader. Lately, I felt like she has been keeping a close eye on me and I didn’t like it. One evening, I was having a meeting with the soldiers and some other elders in the pack. The door to the secret room where we were seated suddenly cracked open. We were not expecting anyone so we immediately turned around towards the other side and shockingly I saw Bella standing just beside the door. Shit! Not again… I muttered inside my mind. I didn’t want everyone to think that I was giving her too much privilege so I had to query her and make her understand the wrong that she was doing. “What are you d
